Harvest 2022 is right around the corner!
Veraison describes the start of the ripening process when the grapes change colors and sweeten naturally. The red grape varieties are beginning to turn purple, a sign that sugar accumulation is rapidly accelerating. From the time veraison begins, harvest is roughly 6 or more weeks away. Come up and see this all happening on the vines while tasting our Estate grown wines!
